Rate Changes

Standard 7MG2.4 Relate the changes in measurement with a change of scale to the units used (e.g., square inches, cubic feet) and to conversions between units (1 square foot = 144 square inches or [1 ft2 ] = 144 in2 ], 1 cubic inch is approximately 16.38 cubic centimeters or [1 in3 ] = [16.38 cm3 ]).
